[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
This thread is useless if you don't give us any more info. 1. Are you using a stock ROM or a custom one (cdma, since you have Sprint)? 2. What do you mean by '8 hours'? Do you mean that from 9-5, with the phone in standby, it fully drains the battery? Or do you mean 8 hours of uptime (the phone turned on, and using it)? If it's 8 hours of use, that's not terrible, depending on what you're doing. That's a current draw of 168 mA, which is about what I get if I'm listening to music on tcpmp. It's also about the same as having the screen set to 10 (full brightness) and just having it turned on.

If you want actual help for your situation instead of generalities, you need to supply the following info:

ROM

Lockscreen (custom or standard)

Processes running most of the time

Bluetooth on/off a lot of the time?

Wifi on a lot?

3G?

Schedule for syncing email and crap like that

Custom UI?

Do you use the accelerometer a lot?

You may be doing some things that will burn the battery, but there's no way for anyone to know if you don't tell us how you use the device. The easiest thing to do is get tbattery.exe and log your battery usage to find out what is killing it (if it really is burning too fast). There are also other similar apps out there.

Hi, im french so my english isnt very good sorry.

Im planning to buy a HTC Legend soon, and I just saw on youtube that I can ''root'' it... is it like a jailbreak for Ipodtouch? What that rooting would allows me to do that i couldnt do before?

please help =) thank you!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isauser:
I have recently bought a HTC HD2 phone from a friend. The phone originally did not start. When it was switched on it stayed at the first white screen shownf the HTC logo and some RGD numbers

So i have registered to this forum with the hope of solving the problem by re-flashing an OEM ROM. I have already made the phone HSPL2 and i have tried some ratios and the original RUU but with no success.

Can someone give me a link or tell me o how can i fix this ? Some steps maybe?

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demon_man:
Try Downloading a Stock Rom from the HTC website and flash that see if you have nay luck, check the battery pins arent bent they will stop the phone from booting.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polo735:
Turn the phone on while holding the volume down button. This should bring you to the tri-color bootloader screen. If you get to this screen you can do a task 29, flash a radio and a fresh rom.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] eazyrider:
Now I have rooted my X10 can I activate the default smileys?

I never even knew about them as I just assumed the smileys were the same as on any phone I have owned but I saw on other Android phones and a post from someone on another forum that the X10 has boring smileys.

So please someone make my day and say there is a patch/hack to get my smiling like an Android :D
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Shiwantha:

you need to edit framework-res.apk

@ Shiwantha

Is it possible to add more .png file to get more smileys, if yes, is it by just adding them in the same folder or how? please help
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Shiwantha:
Nop, Then you need to use 3rd party apps like HTC keyboard or handcent sms for messaging. but still what ever smiley you add only display on your phone.

Example

if you have android smiley face :) on you phone, only : ) will go as a message to the sender.

[Windows Mobile Themes] quicksite:
Not only is this beautiful and elegant -- but the reason I am QUOTING is because I *did* go visit your page to read about your thoughts as well as see the comments written THERE too.

This comment both cracked me up and was sheer brilliance... But if you don't know the reference it would fly right over a person's head and be totally wasted. SO, just to help make the point really CLEAR, i will translate it afterwards. The comment itself is EPIC:

To really appreciate what the commenter is saying here, you have to know this is Bugsy Malone he is referring to -- a gangster in the USA, who saw an empty place in the desert land in Nevada (a state in the USA not too far from California) and envisioned on this empty barren land, with no highways around, no cities around, no nothing -- he envisioned a city in the middle of this desert -- which would be a place where military people and others could come to get inexpensive enterainment....

Everyone thought he was NUTS! Who the hell wants to come to this sh*thole in the desert, Bugsy? he said "you'll see after I've built my first casino here"... and he drew up plans with architects for "The Flamingo" -- an iconic marker now for the original LAS VEGAS, the city, the gambling, the culture, the entire state of mind that he created --- casting his gaze out across the barren landscape of the desert.

The photo above is from when the Flamingo first opened... proving all the doubters wrong.

And now, just for further context... A reminder that once things are indeed built, bigger is not always better, iPadius Jobius.

Las Vegas strip, today.
[Windows Mobile Themes] zmaku:

[Windows Mobile Themes] joe_coolish:
so, that back cover reminds me of that new Lexus super car. is the pearl color matte or metallic? i think car paint metallic over a matte grey would be SICK!

[Windows Mobile Themes] :
I was trying frantically to make a glossy metallic coat over the metal, but I have no idea how, and I'm leaving tomorrow for 3 weeks without computer access so I had to release it now. When I am back in 3 weeks I will have new ideas and a whole new series of renders!

...and the Lexus LFA... beautiful car! I can't drive yet but I'm going to learn how to from our 2009 IS-F.

Thanks for liking it!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Keland44:
man this thing is slick great job keep the renders coming maybe you might get put on engadget and HTC might be giving you a call to help come render some of there up and coming designs

great job
[Windows Mobile Themes] Keland44:
i was just thinking to bad here at XDA we can't just make our own phone with a super version of android running on it
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
Hahaha I already tried Engadget. They basically said I'm not good enough for them. I actually originally made this in response to an HTC 1 concept featured on their site that I found ugly and impractical.

I think all the people who make concepts on XDA Devs should get together and design an ultraphone that HTC can't refuse to make. I mean, we've all got the know-how here to do so. Let's do this!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mcwest:
Wow! Why don't you ask HTC for the Designerjob - they REALLY need someone like you as their designer! Your Concept mobile is amazing! Good work, dude! ^^

[Windows Mobile Themes] rizky_p:
Wow simply amazing i dont think HTC has the same skill as you are in designing their phone. Awesome. A keyboard phone is not my taste but this change all that.
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
I just realized why Engadget doesn't like this. They're still sore about a fake render I made when I was 14 that I called the Motorola Motosplit. I was young and naive and it was a dare and I made $20 bucks! :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] ElCondor:
Lol that looks pretty bad! I got the same problem with the HTC Trophy:). If you search google for it, you will find my renders everywhere.:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] quicksite:
engadget needs to be run out of town with a crowd carrying torches.

little did they know that people would want waffles in the morning served up right on ones own handheld device. i'm not sure how your design handled the batter and how it ejected the waffles when done, but clearly this is another case where bugsy woulda been proud, ahead of your time kiddo.

engadget:

stealing other people's stories since 2004

a proud legacy to uphold.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mariocdl:
Just out of interest, what design software did you use to make this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
At least the HTC Trophy looked good! And yes, back then I thought my waffle iron was something to be proud of. The batter would be ejected through a porous film. :o

Engadget: Basically a massive RSS feed.

And mariocdl, that's a trade secret. Just kidding! :D I used Google SketchUp Pro for the basic geometry (because its so easy to use! I highly recommend!), 3DS Max for the more complicated stuffs, and rendered it in VRay. Did a little cleaning up in Photoshop CS5.

Well I'm off to the airport in 3 hours and I'm not going to have any electronic but my trusty HD2 with GTX Sense ;) for 3 weeks. I'll be back with more concepts that are more detailed and won't have massive watermarks (I did that to make sure the tech sites don't BS it up). Maybe a presentation of all the details on this phone and a Nexus Two concept. :cool:

[Droid X General] dezoris:
I came from a line of HTC phones, last being an Incredible but also have an EVO.

Pros:

Fit and finish

Screen is large

Hardware is solid and well thought out

Accessories and this is a big one, the multimedia dock is really well done and perfect for a nightstand or desk. Great little screen for alarm clock, slide show etc.

The car dock is really well designed. No other phone maker has this these items integrated with their phones. This is a big plus compared to the EVO.

The camera shutter button makes taking pictures very easy.

MotoBlur widgets are not all that bad or intrusive.

Hardware buttons eliminate the annoying accidental capacitive touching on EVO.

Multi-microphones provide excellent sound recording and call quality.

Battery life seems average on par or better than the EVO.

Speed is on par with EVO, and incredible.

Soft touch very comfortable to hold.

Cons:

Screen is large but color is washed out, resolution is average.

Hardware buttons could be a little more solid.

Solid construction but bland styling.

The speaker is rubbish compared to the HTC phones.

After using HTC, you miss some of the Sense integration, like Favorites widget and calendar widgets. Things like HTC weather and clock widget with built in stop watch, timers and more are sorely missed here.

Camera glass is always covered in finger prints due to placement.

Haptic touch is not as calibrated as HTC devices.

The lock screen is crap and laggy.

Too much bloat ware

Boot loader dilemma.

No front facing camera.

I think this phone is on par with the EVO for the most part, no regrets, namely since in 6 months we will have 1.5Ghz phones etc.
[HD2 General] TheOne1AndOnly:
Need Help ASAP!, I cant even slide to unlock when it first starts.

It has always been crashing, and i have disabled my emails, and hardly have any programs and still. After all the patches and updates no change!

tried soft reset, took the battery out 1000 times.

this has happened to me for the second time in 3 months.

I did a hard reset last time to fix the problem, but i have to much valuable info, new contacts, notes, sms etc....

Is there anything else i can do to fix this problem, without a hard reset!

I cant take this phone anymore, it is horrible!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
unlikely that you can fix it without hard reseting in one form or another.

rather than worrying about fixing it, first look into backing up your stuff, and then start looking at the freezing problem.
[HD2 General] conan_t:
I think its the rom problem... next time you may choose a rom carefully... How to select a rom is a tough work... You could try to backup your files first...
[HD2 General] Andrew u.k.:
Do the hardware buttons work?

My phone froze but it was a broken touch screen, fixed under warranty.
[HD2 General] maniep:
I am sorry that you are having the problem.

But it is not the phone. That I can be sure.

If you have modified the phone in anyway, some where along the line, something has gone wrong.

I used to have to hard reset many times when i got my first Windows Mobile Phone ( 2nd Generation HTC Tilt ).

I then went to the HTC Pure, and now I have the HD2.

It is a learning curve when you start adding programs and tweaks.

It takes time, trial, and more time.

I can tell you that I had to hard reset the HD2 just once.

I have over 200 tweaks, registry changes, programs, etc. The phone works great.

I now have learned to back up the system and registry just in case.

And pick and choose programs carefully. Buy only the ones you need.

Dont give up on the phone. Good luck.
[HD2 General] dumbquestion:
Is the phone stock, or have you made modifications? When on and connected with usb to a pc, does active sync start on the pc? you may have to hard reboot: read: always make backups to the sd card (PIM backup, sktools, sprite backup, etc.) of critical data as soon as it hits your phone. If you are miserable with what you have on your phone, change it. I fell in love (from hate) with my HD2 when MIRI_DINIK V 17.0 WWE gave it a new soul. good luck.

Received an email from Fring.

Hello fringsters,

As you may have noticed, Skype has blocked fring. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this Skype policy has unfairly caused you.

As loyal fring users, you deserve an explanation: Last week, following the surge in fring video calling traffic, fring service to Skype was temporarily reduced . Unfortunately, Skype and their legal team demanded not to restore your connectivity to Skype via fring.

Needless to say, we are very disappointed that Skype is now trying to muzzle competition, even at the expense of its own users.

While we regret Skype's decision to block fring, we are committed to continuing to provide you with market-leading innovation, to keep you in touch with your friends, wherever they are.

On fring you can freely use the best mobile over internet communication like video calling, calls and chat anywhere (3G/4G/WiFi) on any advanced Smartphone.

So, if you are frustrated like us with communication barriers, and are just looking for a fun and easy way to stay in touch with your friends on the go, tell them about fring andinvite your friends to join fring here

We appreciate your support and look forward to continuing to provide you with great mobile innovations.

Let freedom fring!

the fringTEAM.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
That´s bad!!!

So Skype is gonna release an own Android version ?!:confused:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] arkavat:
No idea who is telling the truth...

http://blogs.skype.com/en/

Fring probably wants users to use their service and not skype's service. But I have no sympathy for Skype. They choose to lock down their software to a carrier.

BTW, this is posted in wrong forum. it should be in general discussions.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stonew5082:
now that thats done, does anyone know how I can make voip calls to a LANDLINE while I'm in another country? I'm having trouble finding something.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tonyx3:
You can still use Nimbuzz to access Skype though I've had some voice delay/lag issues sometimes with it. It's always crystal clear, though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tonyx3:
Also, didn't Skype recently release a new API and SDK? Shouldn't some enterprising developer be able to use that to make something that doesn't suck?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Antiskunk:
I had a horrible experience with Nimbuzz, calls stopped receiving input apparently.

The person on the other line (also using Nimbuzz) would stop hearing what I said, and visa versa. This was really frustrating as it could happen randomly from 1 minute in or 5 mins in etc.

It would be working fine then just cut off suddenly, the call would keep running fine, just no audio...

Had to hang up and try again, but happened every time without fail, with both HSDPA and WiFi.

It's why I had to switch to fring, as Skype isn't available ¬¬
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stonew5082:
Well, i guess nimbuzz is the ONLY client to call landlines without the nightmare of sip settings in fring, no?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tonyx3:
Wow yeah that's pretty bad.

Nimbuzz is definitely less than ideal, but I've never experience that with it. The audio quality has always been great, but as I mentioned, sometimes when I use it to use Skype to call a landline there gets to be a wicked delay, as if I was talking to someone on Mars or something. I was never sure if it was Nimbuzz's fault, or if it's because I'm calling from Thailand.
